John Cook has replaced Tommy Craggs as executive editor; though on a temporary basis. Cook will sit on a committee that will hire a permanent exec editor and a new editor in chief. Leah Beckmann has succeeded Max Read as editor in chief for now. Hamilton Nolan has been bumped up to deputy editor to fill the vacancy left by Beckmann.

“My agenda is: A Summer of Peace. Stability. Quiet,” Cook wrote in a memo.
